Daniel Boone, Backwoodsman

By Charles Harcourt Ainslie Forbes-Lindsay

Book Overview

Two lines hook: Daniel Boone, Backwoodsman opens a door to the peril and poetry of the American frontier. A vivid, enduring portrait of a life carved from forest and firelight. From the pen of C. H. Forbes-Lindsay, this classic travels as a robust frontier travel narrative and a revealing early american biography. It chronicles Daniel Boone's frontier life with a clear eye for landscape, risk, and resolve, weaving survival and exploration into a richly human story. The book's form is as compelling as its themes: a travel writing classic that reads like a kinetic voyage through late colonial america, across american frontier regions, and into the heart of a young nation's ambitions. Historically, the work remains a significant touchstone in frontier literature, illustrating the people, places, and pressures that shaped the western edge of settlement. For readers and collectors alike, it offers more than a nostalgia trip; it stands as a complete edition that honours its roots while inviting fresh discovery. The language is accessible without diluting reverence for its legacy, making it appealing to curious readers and seasoned bibliophiles seeking a work of cultural treasure. Selling points: out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions; restored for today's and future generations; more than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. This edition honours the spirit of travel writing classics and early american explorers in one timeless volume.
